Luton and Stansted night restrictions mean Stobart Jet
Centre will be only 24/7 London FBO this Summer

London Southend Airport’s private jet
facility, Stobart Jet Centre, will become the only FBO serving the London market
available to aircraft operators 24/7 when night flying restrictions come into
force at other London airports this summer.

From 1st June to 30th September a combination
of night flight embargoes and the exceeding of noise quotas has resulted in
restrictions on movements between 23.00-06.00 hrs. being enforced at Stansted
and, similarly, 23:00-07.00 hrs. at Luton.

London Southend Airport, which was voted Best
London Airport 2017 by Which? Magazine for the fifth year running, is
well below its night time noise quotas due to the consistently quiet profile the
of the airport’s traffic.

Stephen Grimes,
Stobart Jet Centre MD said, “We have invested heavily in making our facility the
most comfortable and efficient to use for our VVIP passengers and it is already
being recognised by operators as one of the easiest for access into London. With
aircraft parking space for as many as twelve BBJs, the convenience of Southend
Airport for central London is going to be enhanced further when we are the only
FBO that can facilitate operators, with aircraft of all types, at night during
the busy summer period.”

“We are ready to welcome customers from across
the globe and believe that once they have tried Stobart Jet Centre for the first
time they will never look back.”

In November 2017, The Stobart Group unveiled
the significant investment made to the Jet Centre facility, which is
complemented by un-congested ramp space adjacent to the FBO and hangar
availability for the equivalent of six BBJs. Working with Apollo Helicopters,
who are based at the FBO, Stobart Jet Centre can facilitate direct helicopter
access to London.
